Did you know that there are indoor air quality systems called UV air purifiers (a.k.a UV germicidal lights) that are great for your home? It’s not every day that you hear UV radiation can actually be good for you, but in this case, it is!

When you live somewhere as warm as we do, it makes sense that homeowners focus mostly on temperature control in their homes when considering the quality of their indoor air. Temperature control is certainly important to keep your home comfortable and your family healthy. However, it’s not the only factor involved with indoor air quality. You can be impacted by factors such as excessive humidity, dust infiltration, and even germs and bacteria existing in your air ducts.
